The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down for you. It’s a lean spell at Kennebunk Beach, no two ways about it. We aren’t looking at much surf over the next couple weeks, but there’s a single day that might give you a proper session if you time it right.
The Outlook
Right now and into Tuesday the 29th, it’s all small, weak windswell running out of the southeast at a short, choppy period. Energy’s barely a whisper. Wind ain't helping either – cross-shore and messy. Not a lot to get excited about.
Thursday July 30th – This is your window. A solid ENE groundswell pushes in Thursday morning, hitting 8ft with moderate to strong energy. The wind goes clean offshore from the NE at 15 mph, so those waves will be holding a nice shape. It’s a bigger day, so this one is for the experienced surfers – beginners will be way out of their depth. The period’s only 7 seconds, which is short, meaning it might pitch and close out in sections, especially on a beach break. But it’ll be the most push you see all fortnight. Afternoon drops to 7ft, still clean under offshore breeze.
Friday August 1st – A big comedown. Swell drops to 2ft out of the SSE with a better 10-second period, but it’s weak. Winds are light and clean in the morning, so you might scrape a couple tiny ones.
From Saturday August 2nd right through to Wednesday August 13th – dead flat. Wave heights barely above 2ft, energy readings tiny, and mostly onshore winds from the south. Not worth hanging your wetsuit for.
Bottom line: your one shot is Thursday July 30th for a solid, clean, offshore session. It won't be perfect with that short period, but it’s your best and only real option in the 16-day outlook. Otherwise, leave the boards at home.

Information about the Kennebunk Beach Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Kennebunk Beach provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Kennebunk Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Kennebunk Beach surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Kennebunk Beach) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Kennebunk Beach may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
